With Ehlinger in his third year as a firmly-entrenched starter, and with a good amount of talent coming up behind him, it seems (knock on wood) fair to say that we're out of the post-Colt era of QB mediocrity for the time being. So now that we can start to talk about that era in the past tense, if we're ranking the QBs from the 2010 until ~2018 QB drought, who is at the bottom of the list?
Was it (Super Bowl Champion) Garrett Gilbert, the High School phenom who never lived up to expectations?
Was it (2011 aggy destroyer) Case McCoy, who made some of the best and unimaginably worst plays of the last decade?
Was it (single game total offense record holder) Jerrod Heard, the second highest rated dual-threat QB recruit behind Deshaun Watson who wound up playing WR?
Was it Swoopes? Ash? Someone else?
I'd say let's limit it to guys who actually played. (Yes, Kai Locksley was a guy who was in our QB room at one point in time, but that's no fun to talk about.)
